But when I read the mem init code on x86 again, I do see there are codes to handle the node overlapping, e.g in numa_cleanup_meminfo(), when store node id into memblock. But the thing is if we have encountered the node overlapping, we just return ahead of time, leave something uninitialized. I am wondering if the system with node overlapping can still run heathily. > > > v3: > > * Revise the patch description > > > > V2: > > * Revise the patch description > > > > Hoan Tran (5): > > mm: Enable CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES by default for NUMA > > powerpc: Kconfig: Remove CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES > > x86: Kconfig: Remove CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES > > sparc: Kconfig: Remove CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES > > s390: Kconfig: Remove CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES > > > > arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 9 --------- > > arch/s390/Kconfig | 8 -------- > > arch/sparc/Kconfig | 9 --------- > > arch/x86/Kconfig | 9 --------- > > mm/page_alloc.c | 2 +- > > 5 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 36 deletions(-) > > > > -- > > 1.8.3.1 > > > > -- > Michal Hocko > SUSE Labs >
